How Litehouse Became an 8-Figure Light Empire

Discover how Litehouse evolved from student side-hustle to an 8-figure lighting brand by picking a winnable niche and obsessing over product quality. You’ll learn the exact paid-media approach (broad Meta targeting, creative velocity, and Google as demand capture), plus the KPIs they use to scale confidently (CPA vs. LTV, AOV, CPM, and frequency). We break down customer-survey loops that inform product roadmaps, Shopify conversion levers like bundles and pricing, and checkout upgrades (Stitch, Apple Pay, BNPL) that delivered a 10–14% lift. Walk away with a repeatable blueprint to scale a DTC store—without overcomplicating targeting or tech.🤔 Who Am I?Hi, I'm Jandre, founder of V8 Media! We've worked with over 500 businesses since 2018 and generated nearly 1.4 billion in sales.
